Cameron-Glickenhaus Family Fund Prize for Most Promising Minor in Education

This annual prize in the amount of $300 is awarded to the student who best embodies a keen understanding of how an interdisciplinary, research-based approach is important for the improvement of learning and education for all students. All senior Education minors are eligible to apply. As part of the application, applicants will write a personal statement and provide a list of Education courses taken along with letter grades. The prize will be awarded at the annual Celebration for Minors in the Department of Education during the final week of Spring term. The application submission deadline is noon on the Monday of week 8 of Spring term; applications received after this deadline will not be considered. Applications should be submitted to Sandy White.

The Review Committee considers three factors in their deliberations: (1) your personal statement, (2) your GPA in all Education classes, and (3) your overall promise as a research-based scholar of education.

Diversity and inclusivity are necessary partners. Without inclusivity, the benefits of diversity— an increase in understanding, improvement in performance, enhanced innovation, and heightened levels of satisfaction—will not be realized. We commit to investments in both, to create a community in which difference is valued, where each individual's identity and contributions are treated with respect, and where differences lead to a strengthened identity for all.
